Opera is better than Chrome on one and only one point: Opera will load multiple pages in multiple tabs swiftly, while Chrome gets bogged down in some known and unfixed race condition.

I find that reading news aggregator content like Google Reader or Hacker News is much easier and faster in Opera than in Chrome.

Apart from that, Opera seems to have many bugs where pages that other browsers load just fine, load incorrectly.

But yeah, even now, Opera won't display your site.

Race condition?

Well, I can't find the right report now, but yes, if you google thinks like chrome slow multiple tabs, or chrome freezes multiple tabs, you'll find lots of reports that chrome is almost unusable when opening multiple tabs at the same time (like clicking on a series of HN links).

About a month ago, I was researching this, and I found then, (but cannot find now), some threads that said this was a long outstanding problem created by some race condition. Another said it was caused by too much priority given to processing the Chrome spinner in each tab.

I don't know what the case really is.

I do know that Opera does a much better job of opening multiple tabs at the same time as Chrome, so I use Opera when working with feed readers and the like.

All else, I default to Chrome.
